forest kingdom

Chapter 368

After discussing the treaty, Green Tree Prophet made another request.

"Our land is unfit for cultivation, and we wish to purchase grain from you and exchange the three thousand baskets of wheat each year for resin and amber."

Lawrence gained some understanding of the Green Forest Kingdom, which came from the words of various witches and dark elves.

Now we have a window to intuitively understand what the real Green Forest Kingdom is like.

"Yes, I have planted a large area of ​​grain in Feiyu Port. This year I will produce a lot of potatoes, and next year I will produce more wheat and grain. Then I can trade directly from the border."

The Green Tree Prophet did not remember the existence of this place, "Where is this place?"

"It was the former territory of Golden Mercia." Lawrence mentioned a landmark. "Now it is my territory, and it is also a land given by God. I have arranged for 4000 people to plant there, and there will be a good harvest this year."

The Green Tree Seer soon knew where it was, and realized that it would take a lot less walking.

"Okay, we are willing to exchange honey, gems, candles, and furs."

Lawrence nodded in agreement.

"I wonder how many of you there are, and why don't you farm your own crops?"

The Green Tree Prophet quickly said: "We have 10 people."

After a pause for a few seconds, the Green Tree Prophet continued: "Our teaching is to protect the forest and we will not cut down trees at will."

Lawrence knew something different. The dark elves, Kharlan and others all said that the elves did not care about nature and did not destroy the forest, but because they were too tired from farming.

Coupled with the fact that the actual population is sparse and the forest cannot support many people, the actual population should be about [-].

Elves prefer easy jobs, and neither wizards nor witches like to do that kind of physical work.

The output of farming is too little. One handful of wheat can only be exchanged for three handfuls of wheat, and you have to process and preserve it yourself. It is better to eat the fruits directly and kill easily available prey. In autumn and winter, you can rely on oak and pine nuts, and you will basically be fine. .

Exaggerating the population is for self-protection. In this barbaric period, the population is extremely important.

Lawrence did not expose the other party's lies and looked at the problem directly according to the other party's words.

"There is no problem with food. I agree that selling food to every country in need of food so that everyone can have enough to eat is what our God would like to see."

"I also have a request."

People from the Ao Kingdom and the Green Forest Kingdom looked at Lawrence, waiting for Lawrence to make a request.

Lawrence said seriously: "There are many children in my territory, and there are also many children in your place. I hope that each country will send a few people to take care of the birth and treatment of children to me."

"Gather the methods and knowledge of all of us to find out the best way to take care of pregnant women and children, and formulate a complete guidance procedure. This will be of great benefit to both the royal families and ordinary people in various countries."

"I am responsible for their food and drink here, including three meals a day, afternoon tea, all kinds of bed linens, toiletries, clothing and other things. As long as people come over, I will provide everything else."

"You can go back whenever you want. I will send them home safely and pay them enough to keep their families alive."

This request is not excessive, and neither party has any objections.

There were originally very few exchanges between countries, and they were unwilling to communicate with unfamiliar countries.

Even two neighboring countries can become strangers because of territorial disputes and feuds.

Distance factors, communication difficulties and other troubles accumulated together, resulting in everyone being unwilling to travel far away, and the nobles were also enclosed in their own territories.

Lawrence broke the semi-closed state of the West and forced these people to unite.

Now that I have the right to speak, I can put forward constructive suggestions for cooperation and exchanges, which will naturally be recognized by other kingdoms.

If your fists are not strong enough, no one will listen to your words.

At this time, a woman suddenly asked: "What is afternoon tea?"

Lawrence looked at this woman. She was a beautiful woman with long wavy blond hair. She looked very young, probably less than 20 years old.

His face is clean and free of any dirt, he has blue eyes like glass beads, he has a girl-like thirst for knowledge, and he exudes an aura of innocence that attracts others to commit crimes.

Wearing a simple gray dress, with a simple linen belt tied around her waist, it set off the rough waves in front of her body.

Lawrence asked: "Who are you?"

The woman didn't answer and lowered her head uneasily.

Elder Green Tree introduced this woman.

"She is Fenn, the Witch of the East. She and her family came to our tribe to take refuge. I cannot protect them, so I hope this place can give them a place to stay."

The east of the Green Tree Kingdom is the south here. The west and the south were originally opposed. Later, the south smashed the west, and the north went south to smash the south. The south also designed to assassinate the leader of the north.

Now that Lawrence is rising as the overlord of the north, the church in the south is also devouring surrounding forces, and the west is also uniting.

"If you are willing to follow my arrangements and serve me, I can agree."

Finn said happily: "I am willing to obey your orders, as well as my family!"

Lawrence didn't mind protecting a few more people, and quickly said to Emma: "Get ready for afternoon tea."

"Yes, Master." Emma quickly went down to prepare.

Within a few minutes, the maids brought cheese, honey bread, toffee, milk, radishes, cooked beef, etc. for everyone to enjoy.

Lawrence talked about some cooperation matters, and then arranged for these people to rest.

While Lawrence was in the office dealing with issues such as income and accounting, as well as the conversion of goods and money sold to these people, Saryl and Catherine came in with several women.

Lawrence smelled the woman's scent and raised his head to look at the people who had just walked in.

In addition to Saryl, Catherine, and Candice, all three of them were armed.

Lawrence quickly looked at Finn. At this time, Finn was holding a swaddled baby, and beside him was a poor little girl of three or four years old, wearing only a linen vest and shorts.

Not only that, there were two women standing next to Finn.

One person looked to be in his early 30s, with long straight blond hair and a mature figure. His skin was slightly gray, and he was wearing some dirty gray peasant clothes. His intellectual and handsome face showed exhaustion.

One looked to be 35 or [-] years old, with long silver hair like a waterfall, fair skin as delicate as jade, eyes exuding amber light, and wearing a hooded robe.

Finn quickly knelt down with the child in his arms, and the two women around him also knelt down. The three- and four-year-old girls also followed the example of the adults and knelt down.

"Master!" Finn happily acknowledged his master.

Lawrence put down his pen and looked at the woman next to Finn curiously.

"Who are they?"

Finn knelt straight and said: "The one in my arms is my daughter Lolita, and the child next to me is my daughter Clara. They are both my children, the fifth generation witch."

"I am the fourth generation witch, and this is my mother Yulia, the third generation witch."

"And my grandmother, Aisabel, the second-generation witch."

Lawrence looked at this group of people, frowned and asked, "What is your witchcraft ability?"

"No..." Enfen carefully explained: "My grandmother is a half-blood witch, but she has no awakening ability..."

The wizard's ability can only be passed down to one person, but if the child born does not have the ability to awaken, the ordinary offspring can actually reproduce normally.

Most wizards, especially witches, do not accept the fact that their children are mortals. They usually kill and give birth to another child instead of letting this ordinary person reproduce.

These are not ordinary people. Although they have no abilities, they have inherited the longevity of elves in lifespan and look very young.

Aisabel's face was calm, "When I was young, I was protected by my mother's enemy. I fled from the Green Forest Kingdom to the east and married a gray elf."

"I established a family there and also ran a flower shop and pharmacy business. Both Julia and Finn were married to knights of the manor. Last year, people from the church invaded our manor and killed our men."

"I escaped with my children and my mother sent us here."

Sophia smiled and said: "Isn't that the useless witch?"

Lawrence glanced at Sophia. This guy has been getting more and more beautiful recently, but his personality has become more and more crooked, becoming more like a witch.

After Sophia was looked at unhappily by Lawrence, she quickly became honest and pretended to be a good girl. "Then you start with my maid. Stand aside and wait. I will go home after I finish handling the matters in hand."

Lawrence's favorable impression of these witches is getting worse and worse. These witches are lazy, greedy, selfish, and excellent at escaping.

"Yes, Master!" Finn finally felt at ease, stood up and stood aside.

Yulia and Aisabel also felt relieved. They ran around and finally found a place to stay.

Soon Lawrence took a few people back to Oak City.

Lawrence rode a unicorn in the middle of the team, followed by Salil and others, followed by Candice and others leading the oxcart and pulling a large amount of goods back.

Finn held his youngest daughter Lolita in his arms, and his eldest daughter Clara walked behind.

As Clara walked, she was full of curiosity about this place full of green wheat seedlings and vegetable fields.

Her little hands quickly grabbed the wheat seedlings on the roadside, broke off a few and stuffed them into her mouth.

After chewing a few times and eating it into her stomach, Clara reached out to the flowers, berries, and various unfamiliar things that she could come across, and stuffed them all into her mouth to eat.

Poppies, mandala, chrysanthemums...as long as they could be touched, they would grab them and stuff them into their mouths.

"Ah... woo woo..."

Lawrence heard the little girl crying and turned around to see the three or four year old girl crying.

"what happened?"

Sofia had been paying attention to the movements around her and said with a smile: "Master, this stupid kid was stung in the mouth by a bee!"

Lawrence quickly passed over the unicorn and noticed that Clara's lips were swollen.

Finn saw Lawrence coming and quickly became anxious.

"Master, please don't be angry, she will stop crying soon, I promise!"

Lawrence looked at Clara's mouth. At this time, the little girl was wailing, the petals in her mouth fell out, and her lower lip was swollen with a blister the size of wheat.

Lawrence took out the orange candy he usually ate to relieve stress and put the candy cube in Clara's mouth.

"Tell her not to eat randomly. She will feed you when she gets back. Now you all go and sit in the car."

Lawrence arranged for these incompetent witches to sit on the bullock cart.

"Keep walking and make a special sheep cart for traveling in the future, otherwise the speed will be too slow."

Everyone quickly continued to set off, Clara had already closed her mouth, curiously eating the candy in her mouth.

With the nourishment of sugar cubes, the pain in my mouth is not so unbearable.

Lawrence found that his vision was too good. It was indeed feasible to establish a witch sanctuary, but his ability was limited!
There are too many witches, and there are too many who don’t work.

Not every witch is as hard-working as Sariel, nor is she as hard-working as Catherine.

Most of the escaped witches are a group of people who are not very willing to share hardships. They will go wherever the best is, even if they are slaves.

Sophia did the right thing, and she must be ruthless!
Those who are capable should be treated with dignity, and those who are not capable should be given the minimum treatment, squeeze them severely, and let them know the fate of being slaves of a subjugated country!
Everyone quickly entered the ring building, and after passing through the dark tunnel, their vision suddenly opened up, and they saw the five-story villa under the big tree.

Lawrence looked down at the three big, two small and five useless witches.

"From today on, you are all my slave girls!"

"The five of you can only live in one room, and from now on you can only eat our leftovers for three meals a day!!"

……

Three hours later, the three women still felt incredible after living in a clean room with beds, quilts and a squat toilet.

The young lady Yulia wondered: "Are all the maids here living a noble life?!"

Elsabel was also puzzled. She had heard the legends here when she was in the Southern Kingdom. She only knew that this was a bitter cold land, poor and barbaric.

But when eating just now, Aisabel, who had to eat slowly and slowly every day in the Southern Kingdom to avoid eating impurities in the bread, actually ate whole wheat bread.

In addition to bread, there were also various kinds of meat and unknown delicacies. Although a lot of them were eaten by the owners, what was left behind still made the four generations who had never seen the world feel like they were in heaven.

Finn lifted up his shirt to feed the baby, "Lolita, we can have a full meal in the future~"

Clara walked to the toilet and looked inside curiously, "What is this for?"

"That's the toilet." Tim walked in holding clothes and introduced to the little girl: "I gave you clothes, and you will be the new maid from now on. I am Tim, and I have been a maid here since I was a child. My mother is also a maid here!"

Tim put the clothes on the bed and was happy to see Clara.

"Let me introduce our place to you. We will take a bath after the master and the head maid Candice have taken a bath. We can't just run around at night. We can't go to the master's room unless the master calls us."

"No man comes in here except the master, so you are not allowed to close the door when sleeping. You must do whatever the master says and say: Yes, master."

Tim quickly introduced the use of the toilet to these witches who had never seen the world, as well as the time to take a bath and eat, and the time to get up in the morning to work.

"This is paper. You have to wipe your butt after using the toilet, and then cover the squat toilet with a wooden board."

"Oh, by the way, you have children here. You can close the door when sleeping at night, otherwise it will be bad if you disturb others."

"I'm going to go find Mom and get you some diapers."

Elsabel, Yulia, Finn, and Clara all realized that they had come to a happy country.

Emma and Bull came in quickly.

Emma looked at these beautiful women with a growing sense of crisis.

The addition of Candice and others has alienated the relationship between Emma and others and Lawrence. Now it feels like many new beautiful women are joining every once in a while. Emma, ​​who is already in her twenties, feels that she is in crisis.

"I am Emma, ​​the master's first maid. The master asked me to come here to verify what you know. The Church of the Stars does not support idlers. If you want to live here, you must work!"

"How many languages ​​do you speak?"

As the eldest beautiful witch, Aisabel quickly realized that she must show her worth to survive here.

"I can speak five languages, as well as Gray Elf and Ioan."

"In addition to languages, I can keep bees and take care of flowers, and I can also prepare slow potions for healing wounds. Yulia and Finn have also learned from me."

Yulia said: "I know four languages, Green Forest, Norrisen, the language here and Gray Elf. I can also tailor and write. I also have some blood of Gray Elf, so I can serve my master."

Emma looked unhappy, and so did Bull.

There are real gray elves, that is, dark elves, so Yulia's gray elf bloodline is of no use here.

Finn thought of something and looked happy.

"My grandmother Aisabel can also take care of children. She personally delivered my daughters and I. The master once said that such a pharmacist is needed, and she is it."

Emma looked at Aisabel, there was indeed a lack of pharmacists here.

"Is what she said true?"

Aisabel thought her granddaughter Finn would be taken seriously, but she didn't expect that she would be taken seriously first.

"Yes, I can do this. I know a medicine that can cool down a child's body after it gets hot."

As a noble, Elsabel would not treat ordinary people, nor would she take care of other people's children, nor would she be a pharmacist, so few people knew that she could do this.

Finn knew very little and could only work as an assistant to his mother and grandmother.

Clara and Lolita did not need to count, and Emma quickly told Lawrence the news.

Lawrence, who was about to go to bed, instantly fell asleep after hearing the techniques that Aisabel knew!
"Give Elsabelle a separate room and give her whatever she needs!"

"As long as she can come up with those two therapeutic drugs that are as effective as she said, I will support her for the rest of my life!!"
